what's your guitar tuned to? - Page 2

pbradley · 06.22.2007, 02:12 AM

Unfortunately I always start out on standard and end up on some out of tune bullshit from that until I find something interesting.

Nothing so interesting recently.

MellySingsDoom · 06.22.2007, 07:29 AM

Pretty much standard tuning these days. (Name dropping bit coming up) When I was in the Rhys Chatham 100 Guitars thingy, my guitar was restrung with each string being (i think) a .26, and each string was tuned to A. Not a new concept, of course, but certainly novel.

king_buzzo · 06.22.2007, 07:35 AM

i am going to tune mine today to F#F#F#F#C#F

MellySingsDoom · 06.22.2007, 07:38 AM

...don't you think you're overdoing it with that C?

king_buzzo · 06.22.2007, 07:40 AM

sorry actually its a C#

MellySingsDoom · 06.22.2007, 07:43 AM

Indeed it is. Apologies.

ALIEN ANAL · 06.22.2007, 07:50 AM

prob an out of tune standard!

Torn Curtain · 06.22.2007, 08:10 AM

Currently my folk guitar is in BEBEBE as in Nick Drake's From the morning (I love that song but it's hard to play...). I also like the CGCFGE of Place to be (much easier to play).

atsonicpark · 06.22.2007, 12:34 PM

didn't know you were in the rhys chatham thing, that rules!

finding nobody · 06.22.2007, 12:45 PM

Strat: standard
ovation: i twisted the strings till i like the sound
kay: open e
rogue: CGDGCD
ibenaz: open e tuned down two steps
random electric acoustic: ACCGG#C

Torn Curtain · 06.22.2007, 03:41 PM

I've just learnt to play "Wonderful one" by Page & Plant, the tuning is EEBEBE and it's great.

P.S: the thread should've been in the Non sonic sounds section.

atsonicpark · 06.22.2007, 05:24 PM

i thought "Non-sonic sounds" was for other bands, though..

jon boy · 06.24.2007, 10:55 AM

whats a tuning?

Green_mind · 06.24.2007, 06:49 PM

F#F#F#F#EB is an interesting tuning, I like that full sound you get with sliding around on the F#'s. I want to get one of those baritone acoustic guitars to play round with, I bet you can achieve some interesting sounds on one of those.

Of the ones not in standard, one is in PCH/Expressway tuning and the other in Low C (I was showing a friend Rain on Tin the other day). I don't know the notes off the top of my head...that's what Mustang is for.

Just A Big Stone · 06.27.2007, 05:28 AM

my acoustic is in standard and my electric (which I use in my band) is half step down...I don't use a lot of alternate tunings because without the appropriate gauges they don't sound good, and I have just one electric and one acoustic, and I don't want to change strings every time...

Just A Big Stone · 06.27.2007, 05:29 AM

However, I found that playing in GGDDGG is really funny

atsonicpark · 09.12.2007, 10:12 PM

ain't talkin bout beatles songs written 100 years before i was born

I've had one of my guitars tuned in that for a few weeks because I was playing Star Power

Tunings I use:
Standard
CADGBC- 1 song that I wrote a year and a half ago

my two new tunings:
E G# E F# G E
E Bb D F Bb E

these are both based on chords that I use in open tuning. The first one is actually a very normal chord moved up on the strings in standard, if you take away the Es and the G which are the drone notes in standard, it sounds much more normal.
